Does Glazier Need To Be Licensed?

The licensing rules for glaziers differ from place to place, in some states there are no requirements for licenses. Despite this, one should always check if their glazier is a member of an Australian trade association such as the Glass and Glazing Association of Australia (GGAA). Being a member means keeping up with the latest trends in the industry. Besides that, all glazing must meet Australian Safety Standards (AS1288 and AS2208). These standards provide for the use of safety glass for certain windows and doors, thus putting a point of emphasis on the necessity of using professional services that will adhere to safety regulations.
